Steeplejack

A Bronze Age Marvel villain with roots going back to 1978, Steeplejack made their first mark in Ms. Marvel #14, brought to life by the legendary team of Chris Claremont and Carmine Infantino. Though the catalog footprint is modest, the company this character keeps is genuinely colorful — sharing pages with the likes of Hijacker, Rapier, and Vamp across titles including Captain America and Ms. Marvel. That kind of rogues' gallery company speaks to a character woven into the fabric of Marvel's street-level underworld, the sort of figure who turns up when trouble is brewing for the House of Ideas' heavy hitters. For collectors hunting the corners of Bronze Age Marvel villainy, Steeplejack is a satisfying find — a piece of the era's wonderfully sprawling tapestry.
